Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
I can appreciate the white and orange areas on the tongue,
These are nothing serious.
These are due to chronic deposition of food debris or is seen in individuals on soft diet for a long time.
I would recommend you to use a hard brush for brushing your teeth and also use a tongue cleaner for cleaning this area.
